Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 is due out on PS4 and Xbox One in October, with other formats to come, and today, Activision has unleashed a new gameplay trailer for the game. In the background is Black Sap Scriptures from Plague Vendor, and the video shows skateboarding pros and hidden characters, classic trick combos in brand new levels and tons of skaters ripping together.
The game rekindles the signature style of classic Pro Skater games in a brand-new set of levels with the same renowned focus on daring objectives and fine-tuned controls – including manuals and reverts – for endless sessions and high-scoring tricks.
Expansive, seamless online multiplayer means you can quickly jump into the action with up to 20 friends and challengers at one time. Pretty much everything you could do in single player in past THPS games, you can now do online with friends in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5, like missions, unlocking new content and levelling up… or if your skills are on point, go head-to-head against all takers in competitive matches.
Adding to the online insanity, you can create your own skate parks then share them with the community. If your creation is good enough, you might find the Birdman himself in there nailing 900’s! Shredders, but bear in mind – the online features are exclusive to PS4 and Xbox One.
PS3 and Xbox 360 versions are due out before the end of 2015, but will not have online play.
